The California Governor, in the launch of his new podcast, announced that he completely aligned with far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ influencer Charlie Kirk on sports, and agreed on prisons and youth care.
Having read the transcript, no, he does not. There's absolutely no reason beyond "both sides" bullshit to connect the two. Unlike Kirk, he didn't go on hateful tirades about groomers, drag shows, or pedophiles.
Having been disappointed by Newsom several times, what he did say in the podcast continues his disappointing trend and gives unacceptable levels of support to crazy conservative garbage thinking.
You can think Newsom said something terrible without taking the opportunity to make Kirk seem like he isn't a hateful extremist.
No because a shitlib is "electable" and "the only sane one in politics" and other things to brush aside their policies that impact everyone but the rich.
